We've temporarily pulled this release due to the identification of an issue that may be affecting a small subset of customers during the upgrade process. Once a fix for the issue has been developed, we'll push a new release. If you have already upgraded and chef-automate status shows healthy, then you are unaffected. However, if you've already upgraded to this release and are experiencing any issues, please contact Chef Support.

We are delighted to announce the availability of version 20210116175706 of Chef Automate 2.
